Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 479: You Can Revive Him?!

Chapter 479: You Can Revive Him?!

-----

After reprimanding the two women a bit, I decided to continue.

"Zephyr is a s.a.d.i.s.tic child, but not without reason. I saw a bit of his memories… He's had a tough life. His mother was nowhere to be seen and his father was even more of an a.s.shole than him. It could be said that Zephyr is the complete opposite of Shouta. A boy raised in an environment that taught him to always oppress the weak to show his might, to not let the weak rebel against the strong, or some stupid bulls.h.i.+t like that." I sighed.

"I-I see…" sighed Mikohime.

"I suppose everyone is born innocent; it is life that shape us into what we are…" sighed Kokoro.

"Yeah, at least you girls understand the basics of this, so it shouldn't be hard to understand that even that little a.s.shole Zephyr had his sad past… Now, let's move on to what he did…" I said.

"Zephyr followed Shouta after he escaped the party, surrounded him with his lackeys and… he began to torment him. When Shouta tried to escape from the situation, Zephyr grabbed him and threw him into a corner, where he began to be pushed around, until all of them simply began to beat him senseless." I said.

The two women showed bitter expressions.

"Ooh… Shouta… Ahh… H-How could I had let such a thing happen to you when I was just right there… just… if I had moved… If I had… been… Ugh… Sob, sob…" Kokoro began to cry in pain and sorrow.

"d.a.m.n it… Shouta-kun…" sighed Mikohime.

"Shouta grew desperate, in agony, he attacked without thinking. What killed Zephyr… well, you must already know, was an icicle spear Shouta conjured desperately to fend off his aggressor… In a way, what Shouta did was justified and in self-defense." I said.

"T-That's true! That d.a.m.n kid had it coming!" said Mikohime.

"Yeah… I suppose Shouta did something for his self-preservation, a basic instinct for survival…" sighed Kokoro.

"Of course, if we tell this to the Jade Snakes they won't believe it anyways, they're too biased over their own kid. But as long as I got his soul, I can force Zephyr to confess to everything, explaining it personally on how it happened. After that, I might even revive him if his corpse is available." I said.

"R-Revive him?!" asked Mikohime.

"Y-You can… revive people, Drake-sama?" asked Kokoro.

"Only if I have their souls, if not, it is impossible. People that died long ago and whose souls have long ago pa.s.sed on, cannot be revived." I said.

"I suppose that makes sense…" sighed Kokoro.

"Indeed." Said Mikohime.

"For now, we should bring Shouta here and quickly tell him our plan." I said.

The plan was simple: I was going to recover Zephyr's soul from his insanity and make him confess to what he did, while Shouta apologizes. After that, I will offer to revive Zephyr as long as his body is available, even the bare bones could work, I believe.

There might be other things in between, but this was my plan to resolve this stupid dispute and get over it.

If things go well, I will end up as the hero of all of it, and everyone will literally kneel before my incredible feats. Because having your child revived in front of you would have you f.u.c.king kneeling to the person responsible.

After that, the Jade Snake Sect would easily be in the palm of my hands, and shall become a part of my Empire, while I can discover all their secrets and probably find their inheritance. Zephyr's memories had clues about it. Very much like the Winter Lotus Sect, there was also an inheritance for the Jade Snakes. As of now, this was the plan, and I was going to fulfill it and save Shouta from his death flag.

-----

The Jade Snake Sect was several kilometers away from the Winter Lotus Sect, yet their distance wasn't so far either. Like neighboring nations in a way, both of them were constantly forced to look at one another.

Due to this, they had a long history of wars, disputes, but also peace and alliances. They could never find true peace between the two because disputes and discrimination would always break years of hard work between the rulers to get it done.

Now, after they had thought they could finally live in peace with one another, this ended up happening. The Jade Snake Sect felt betrayed as they saw the little body of their young genius talent, dead and colder than ice itself, his lifeless body being hugged by his grandfather, the sect master, and his grandmother, a sec elder, while his father had almost tried to kill the Sect Master of the Winter Lotus sect if it wasn't because he was stopped, knowing the Rank 4 Mikohime would had killed the man if he approached further.

After some time since then, a war had broken out which ended in a few casualties but many wounded, which only served to make their relations.h.i.+p even more bitter.

However, there was something unexpected that happened, the Dark Shadow Sect, a factor none of the two sects took into consideration, attacked. They used their new troops and strange powers to put pressure on both armies, who were already exhausted, and almost destroyed both sects in the process.

Now, having barely survived their vicious a.s.sault, the Jade Snake Sect was feeling restless as they saw their destroyed walls and homes. If there was another attack, they didn't have any way to defend themselves; most of their troops were gone, and whoever was left surviving was too weak to even fight back.

They would have to escape their territory in the worst-case scenario… no, the worst case scenario would be… the total annihilation of their bloodline.

The Sect Master, an old half-ice giant and half-giant man with a long white beard looked into the white snow around the sect temple.

"What should I do…?" he sighed. Thinking about the young that had died, he couldn't help but feel an immense fury in his heart. He really wanted to slaughter the kid that did this and avenge his grandson… his own son was devastated by the death of Zephyr, the emotionless father of Zephyr who never showed emotions had become a crybaby after his son had died…

However, as he gritted his teeth in frustration, he suddenly noticed many figures slowly approaching outside of the walls…

"What?"
